Best Practice for Qlik Sense Source Control

[#1]

Hi Guys,

I have used prj folders to source control the QlikView application Development.

But I am new to Qlik Sense 3.1 and wanted to know what are the best practices for Qlik Sense version contorl?

Thanks

Afaik there's only one best practice right now: Do whatever works best for you.

• You may or may not want to implement Qlik Deployment Framework
• You may or may not want to use a tool like Platform Manager for Qlik Sense or Version Manager for Qlik Sense
• You may or may not want to create your own system using something like GitHub - mindspank/serializeapp in combination with Git or Apache Subversion.

Perhaps this discussion can give you additional ideas: Qlik Sense integration with Version Control Systems

Hi @Gysbert_Wassenaar , do you have any new/updated recommendations for QS versioning control?

Thanks!

Jay

[Gysbert_Wassenaar]

No, I don't have any new or update recommendations. That doesn't mean there aren't any. I just haven't looked at them lately.

Thanks for your reply, Gysbert.

You could try Gitoqlik. 

Version control in the Qlik Sense built-in editor.  This project is a Chrome extension that adds version control in the built-in editor of Qlik Sense and integrate your app with Git repository.

Hi all,

I've created a CLI tool called BIForm aimed at improving Qlik Sense BI application management via version control like Git. It can help you:

1. Seamlessly track and manage changes to your apps.
2. Easily revert to previous versions of your applications.
3. Collaborate with team members through a clear change history.

BIForm also supports functionalities such as pulling the latest changes and applying them to multiple apps at once, significantly improving the update management across your BI applications.

As an open-source project, your insights and contributions to BIForm are highly appreciated. You can find more details, contribute or provide feedback through the project's GitHub repository: [link to GitHub repository].
